I'm a huge fan of sports and athletisism in general Basketball, American football, a bit of free running and skateboarding comprise my sports of choice, but I'm decent at athletics and can give essentially any other sport a fair knock.

In terms of teams, I've been a Dallas Mavericks fan for two years (no glory seeker comments please, I liked them before the Playoff victory ) and don't really have a football team I follow as of yet.

Sleet beat Housefox in the World Series!As unattached as I am, I was still kind of hoping Texas could win since they never have. But it still wasn't the Red Sox or Yankees, so at least we've got some variety.

Do any baseball aficionados know when the last time was that a wildcard team won?

Well, the London Olympics are pretty close with about a fortnight to go before they commence. Anyone excited about any events in particular? I know I'm looking forward to the basketball, especially Team USA leveling everyone

I love to watch football.I live in South Carolina and basically right down the street from the USC Campus to, indecently, I'm a Gamecock fan.Can't wait till fall!!

Maybe there's not enough countries that are interested- but surely there's more countries with an interest in baseball than basketball. That is kind of weird.

I'm not sure that's strictly true - basketball is definitely an international sport that has a large presence in every continent. But regardless it is a bit weird that there's no baseball this year considering it had been active for the past few games. Blame our bad British weather

Also excited to see Bolt breaking the land speed record in my own country

Re: The Sports Thread

I wasn't aware basketball was very big anywhere but USA, China and North Korea. And Baseball in USA, Japan and the Dominican Republic.

basketball is pretty big in Europe, there's a ton of big men from all over Europe in the NBA.

Some notable players from around the world are Tony Parker (France), Pau Gasol (Spain), Andrew Bogut (Australia), Luol Deng (UK) and Dirk Nowitzki (Germany). There are teams all over the UK and many of the other European countries, though they usually pale in comparison to the NBA teams. Regardless, it's a very popular sport that has more interest than it is often credited for
